Jeff Otah out (knee surgery)

Panthers right tackle Jeff Otah has left training camp to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. Otah missed three games last season with a torn meniscus in the same knee.

Reports say the Panthers are hopeful that the former first-round pick will be available in Week 1. Otah is one of the more promising young right tackles in the game, but injuries have hindered his development thus far.
